Another busy weekend ahead. Sara and Mary went into Salisbury today for Mary's cheerleading training and for Sara to visit the gym and do some shopping. I worked at home this morning but must admit that I was heavily distracted by watching the Olympic Games on the TV - especially the men's road race which did not result in a gold medal for Mark Cavendish as expected. It was interesting to see all these Olympic cyclists travelling along the roads around Dorking and Leatherhead which are so familiar to me. In the late afternoon we drove over to army friends in Tidworth to enjoy a wonderful barbecue. A fantastic evening developed - lovely food, company and masses of booze which I was unable to enjoy as I picked the short straw and agreed to drive back. Sara enjoyed Pimms and fizz. There were quite a few people at the barbecue including two Polish girls from whom we learnt a few words in Polish for hello and goodbye. There were also four dogs present - two Boxers, one Labrador and one massive Great Dane. The weather had been quite hot today but this evening there was a light breeze which was very refreshing and made for a nice evening outdoors. Why then, did we all stay in the kitchen? - Answer, the Olympics were being shown on a lovely little tablet TV in the kitchen.
